In My Mailbox #94

Got some awesome things this week. And I might have spent too much money, even though what I got were mostly pre-orders :) Still waiting on so much, though. And things that have gotten lost in the mail that I have won :( makes me so sad. A bit upset that The Dream Thieves did not arrive today, since there is no mail tomorrow, but really hoping it will arrive early next week <3 I have not been able to read much this week. Probably because I spent three days with The Bone Season, where I only read 154 pages. Stopped reading it. Couldn't finish, because I did not enjoy it. Sigh. Then I re-read The Raven Boys, which was perfect. <3 So I'm happy with this week :) Another thing I got that is not pictured are a pair of black glitter Toms shoes. They are gorgeous. But, of course, I cannot wear normal shoes so I have huge blisters on my little toes. Sobs. Still. Hoping they get better :) What did you get this week?

Omg The Iron Traitor! Hope you enjoy that one, I can't wait to read it :D A few of my friends have, and they said it was amazing. You got some awesome swag this week - love the Grisha button and the Avalon bookmark <3

I'm sorry you didn't end up enjoying The Bone Season, I've read some mixed reviews, some really enjoyed it and some found it really hard to get into. I love all the swag you received, Her Dark Curiosity swag looks so pretty! I hope you enjoy all your books! :)

Lovely books and swag! I don't know why but I find the cover for Infinityglass so disturbing! LOL It's pretty but it just freaks me out a bit. I hope Waterfell is good, too. I read Bloodspell by Amalie Howard and love it!

I stopped myself from requesting Waterfell, but I'm definitely curious about it. I hope you can read it soon so I can see what you think. ;) And I'm sorry to hear that The Bone Season didn't work for you. I know a lot of people have found it pretty tricky to get into. :/ The Iron Traitor is one of my next reads hopefully. I've already heard some brilliant things about it. Enjoy! :)

What a haul! I'm always excited to see what you get each week. I wish I could order that many books but my bank account is nonexistent right now. Infinityglass has such a gorgeous cover! I still need to read the second book in that series but I loved Hourglass. Hope you enjoy all your new goodies!
